Speaking of the Hugo Awards, it's downright hilarious to see how completely the SJWs reject Sun Tzu's admonition to know oneself as well as one's enemy. Their problem, you see, is that they are just too decent and good and pure and naive to discuss politics or even be in contact with anyone who refuses to submit to their Narrative.

With guys like Vox Day throwing their weight around, and Trump supporters and alt-right dudes becoming increasingly more common in the Internet, I find myself staying more and more away from anything having to do with political discussions.

We Liberals have a tendency to be too idealistic and naive when dealing with sociopaths like Vox Day. We think adhering to the laws and customs and moderation and good manners and common sense will eventually win the day. I don't think so anymore.

When you face sociopaths, you should either go to war with them and beat them, or you should just go away and avoid any further contact. Honestly, dudes that actually preach genocide and purging the human species from the "weak" scare the crap out of me (I'm not necessarily talking about Vox Day here, but alt-right dudes that have started to proliferate online, Vox Day's brothers and sisters).

I never thought I'd miss the Bush supporters. :)

So yeah, I'm staying well away from anything having to do with politics from now on. I tend to get too angry and frustrated. And I think "our" side in this Hugo mess is being too moderate in dealing with VD and his cohorts. He will not go away by himself, and I feel the Hugo "brand" is doomed.

It is sad but true that often liberals are handicapped by their own liberalism and sense of fair play.

It's good to see SJWs rediscovering the benefits of segregation, anyhow. It's even better to see that they remain entirely clueless about themselves. I have to admit, it is certainly informative to learn that shrieking "racist sexist transphobic bigot anti-semite global warming denier" at those who disagree with you and attempting to discredit and disemploy them is nothing more than "adhering to the laws and customs and moderation and good manners and common sense."

Regardless, watching SJWs try to play the naive liberal is like seeing a cannibal answer the door while wearing the skin of his most recent victim.

Speaking of segregation, one author has withdrawn his book from a competition because the reviewers are SJWs who are more interested in "who, whom" than anything to do with the actual plot, characterizations, or writing style of the book:

There’s been a trend swelling in the last few years among book reviews, fueled by the “outrage cliches” of the interweb. This idea that a book, a story, should be judged largely based on several things which matter more than anything else: The color of the main character’s skin, their sex, and their sexuality. Then the same for the author.

How bad is it? Last week the Nebula awards were swept by female authors. Which would be totally fine … except for how the news presented it, which was best summed up in the i09 article I read that didn’t discuss the books that won at all, but only that the winning authors were women.

Since there is no place for us where they are, there can be no place for them where we are.

Wahhhhhhhhh! Why won't you let us have the field to ourselves........no fair....haterz.

So brave. Thanks for sharing. Find a safe space.

BAHAHAHAHAAAA!! I uh.. BWAHAHAHAA!!!!

liberal definition of sociopath: Anyone who disagrees with the Narrative du jour.Your side chose the the first option, the right was fine with the second. You chose..poorly.

Good. Find your safe space, break out a good earth friendly coloring book and color the pain away. I'd hope you take the time to reflect and learn. Some people say I'm a dreamer... -John Lennon

Yup. Not getting it yet. Keep trying little snowflake.

DING!DING!DING!

What an awesome bunch of guys. Gee they're just swell. The right has actually learned a great deal about fair play by following their lead dontcha know.

Of course, there’s been a backlash, because exposing and undoing white supremacy is never simple. Most recently, two linked right-wing groups, the Rabid Puppies and the Sad Puppies, took advantage of the nomination rules to pack the Hugo Awards — speculative fiction’s most prestigious fan-voted honors — with only works that meet their narrow guidelines for approval (i.e. white and straight). The Puppies inhabit the same milieu as Gamergate, the most famous and vicious of these regressive protests, unless you count the Donald Trump candidacy. (Before that there was “RaceFail 2009” and a 2013 controversy within SFWA itself over sexism within the organization, not to mention ongoing whining about women in Ghostbusters and Star Wars.)https://psmag.com/daniel-jos%C3%A9-older-and-progressive-science-fiction-after-gamergate-f94e4deec333#.n45trl63f

For some reason I doubt the qualifications necessary to make that claim are present.

(Also can't but help rolling on the floor laughing like a hyena at the idea of Liberals being "idealistic." I'm not going to get into it, but any true -- is it okay to say true, or is that taboo for those that are not trufans? -- student of history knows that Liberals are the exact opposite of idealistic.

When your entire ideology is bent on returning humanity to feudalism, optimism is not the phrase I'd use to describe it.

But what do I know? I'm just one of the tax-paying chumps that actually deals with reality.

The funny thing about really sensitive people is that they are blind to how incredibly insensitive they are are toward other people. The sensitive person who is highly sensitive toward other people is a truly rare specimen. I met a pastor like that once. Progressives, being generally sensitive people (not all, but in my experience, many are), are the last people I would expect to engage in fair play.

Their entire position as to why no awards or contracts or jobs should go to white people in general and cis hetero straight white males in particular is always:

Hurry up and die already! The future is brown! The future is queer! The future is female! Pay more taxes and let us inherit what you have.

It is the left that plots genocide and works itself up into a frenzy to claim it's righteous retribution. Just go ask any remaining Boer farmers how the media responds when an ANC gang gets the drop on his daughter - 9/10 times the response will be he deserves what happened for his role in Apartheid, especially if his daughter was born after 1994.

VD: "While I am narcissistic and Machiavellian, according to the psych profile, I actually test out highly empathetic."

I have a suspicion that the phenomenon of the psych profile is in itself becoming less useful as it becomes more widely-used and widely-known. The subject that realizes it is under observation always behaves differently from how it acts when it is unaware of such observation; we all start presenting as more narcissistic when engaged in exercises that by definition are meant to make us think about ourselves.

I've always thought that the defining criterion of narcissism was the inability to take interest in other people for their own sake. I suspect Spacebunny and Ender, at the very least, can testify to Vox's lacking that handicap.

Feudalism wasn't a bad deal, if your local lord was God fearing or otherwise wise enough to have good relations with his people. It's true there wasn't much social mobility but there can't be much when the majority of your labor goes to just feeding yourself. And the fealty you gave your local lord was reciprocal, he had responsibilities to you as well. You were his extended family.

But what progressives want is not feudalism as it existed in our past, too much Jesus, but their sick twisted version of something that kind of sort of looks like it superficially but at it's core is just a funhouse mirror reflection of it with them on top.

She's right though that liberals are often handicapped by ideology and naevity. "Mentally handicapped" is indeed a great way to describe liberals.

In fact, whenever you just power through their accusations, there's usually nothing there but their ideology and naevity. See the interview with Trump, where he is scolded by a reporter for using the term "anchor baby." Trump refuses and the reporter just kinda has absolutely nothing else but liberal ideology and naevity to comfort himself with.

Stephen J. wrote:I've always thought that the defining criterion of narcissism was the inability to take interest in other people for their own sake.

I often tell people, for instance, that my store of empathy is definitely on the left side of the bell curve. I can empathize with maybe about a dozen people at a time, and I'll all full up right now.

On the plus side, the writer called you a sociopath, which at least indicates the capacity to realize everything isn't constrained within their rainbows-and-unicorns universe. It's not a bad thing to have enemies, if they're the right enemies.

We Liberals have a tendency to be too idealistic and naive when dealing with sociopaths like Vox Day. We think adhering to the laws and customs and moderation and good manners and common sense will eventually win the day.

When modern liberalism ran amok in the sixties (and before), the main work was to violate laws, mock customs, celebrate excess, have bad manners, and deny common sense in order to overthrow the religious culture that so offended them.

"I can empathize with maybe about a dozen people at a time, and I'll all full up right now."

I have the reverse problem; I can empathize with just about anybody, which unfortunately makes it hard to stick to my guns about something if somebody else is suffering as a byproduct. A dedication to Truth at the expense of Compassion is merciless, but a dedication to Compassion at the expense of Truth ultimately causes more injustice than it averts.

Oh, and if they want genocide..I think the group I used to belong to was called "Running on Empty II". They all believe we would run out of oil and it would turn into Mad Max. In fact, they seemed to look forward to it. I always suspected that they wanted the end of the world, so they wouldn't have to figure out what to do with their lives. Don't know if the group still exists as I was asked to leave for pointing out that those people leaving Cuba in leaky boats indicated that all wasn't well in paradise.

I do think there are a fair amount of liberals who are idealistic and naive. They are so idealistic that they believe the ends justify the means, which is why they will use despicable methods to achieve their ends, such as silencing their opposition. They are naive because they believe the ends will be the utopia they seek; they can't perceive what the future will actually hold. Majority culture won't accept them except by force. Mankind still has an instinct about who holds the moral high-ground, and it's not the people who must use force to disseminate their views.

This makes me wonder if the reason the video games cut from the list of nominees were cut specifically because the Huge Powers That Be recognized that the video game industry was insufficiently Converged. The thinking would go something like this:

"If we let in one video game, we have to let in all video games. But video games are produced by companies that don't place a higher premium on the Narrative. That would allow far more of the wrong kind of story lines to show up on the list of nominees. So we have to rule them ineligible, at least until we can reliably count on Blizzard to make stories that adhere to the Party Line."

Because you can bet your sweet ass that the first major title that is both financially successful and features fully converged storylines, and is headed by a producer who checks off the right identitarian boxes will be allowed in under the auspices of, "The Hugo Award committee now recognizes the changing nature of technology and storytelling," or some such silliness.

They're five finger discounting our entire argument about why conservatives lose. My gawd they can't even produce their own shtick.

One of the really fun things now is watching the Great Popping of the bubbles. You've got a bunch of people out there who've never seen beyond the echo chamber. Today's rightest is always exposed to contrary opinion as it's the cultural default, but today's Lefty is blind, deaf and dumb. Righty enabled this because it's mean to make fun of retarded people. But it went too far, eventually folks had to adult. And the lefty's and mods are gobsmacked and so very confused and so very vulnerable.

Did you see the interview George Stef-- did with Trump? George kept asking the same damn question, over and over again like a robot, frantically pushing the same buttons which had always worked before, "When are you going to release your tax returns?" until Trump, after answering, "When my audit is done" for the umpteenth time got pissed and yanked a knot in Georgie's tail (successfully) making him look like an unprofessional lying shill. The LOOK on Steffy's face! Like when you realize your brakes don't work and you're barreling down a mountain. Like when you realize you studied for the wrong test. Like when you wake up with a hangover next to Lena Dunham.

Nowadays a body may identify as they please. So there is no problem here. In the era of Shaun King, Rachel Dolezal, A Million Little Pieces, etc., the door is wide open for anyone to do what they will. Chuck Tingle gets it.

People are jealous! Multi talented, doesn't say sorry, carries on in his work and remains productive while NOT CARING about what critics think, operates on dialectic/logic, its only doc'ed here.

Vox Day is a accomplished professional of a host of areas, a gentlemen, family man with a beautiful wife, (whom men are jealous of) whom is a good lady role model to me in that I must revert to Christ, prayer, family first. But this matter is nearly against rules of the blog but SB's kindness and graciousness reached me.

Vox and his professionals built Castalia House which overtakes reading and gaming or will overcome the Hugo's.

All Of Which has my full support. I declare and believe Hugo's belong to CH, VFM and Puppies!!

OT: Mike Cernovich rec'ed a kind compliment at the Alex Jones 5/19 show, 2nd hour. Mike and Milo are making a great impact. Please gentlemen, carry on as you have our or my utmost support.

Even I started my own or our own local ballet group, our own art assoc. club all barring SJW idiocy and boomers. Boomers barred me from my own art assoc because I'm not cooool like them. Great, thank you! Great lessons from the brain damaged SJWs and brain damaged insane some boomers. We are doing great with nationalist art, men's art and anything that is never boomer tainted. Thank you for the lessons and nope, go be with your own age group, leave us alone to create that which is what is God required within us.

From the original article: Trump supporters and alt-right dudes becoming increasingly more common in the Internet...

This is encouraging, a sign that the alt-right is growing and/or becoming more vocal. It's been forever since the leftists experienced any real pushback. And here, they thought the pendulum could swing left forever.

Jealous of SpaceBunny??? U___U you have projected man!!! You are jealous aren't ya XD?

Now, if I were to talk about jealousy, I would say that I am not jealous of SpaceBunny, but I do envy that Vox seems to have ... You know... A rather Bright side to his life called a family.

Guess he ain't so dark after all.

Another thing, forget the boomers they are out, you should worry about worthless millenials, ruining the world completely out of... Straight up WIMPNESS. What a crappy generation I ended up being part of... Maybe I will just go David Bowie and live an alter-ego

Their "fair play" read Vox out of the SFWA on the flimsiest of pretexts. He got all the fair play of a show trial.

Vox, have you ever sent rape rape a copy of the SFWA complaint. I remember reading it (I was a member of SFWA at the time) and thinking, they can't possibly kick an author out over such drummed-up horse shit.

Yet they did. As a lawyer, the whole thing stunk to high heaven. Not that Vox had much of a legal case since it's never been clear that the actually kicked him out and, more importantly, he hasnt been materially damaged since he's sold way more books since being purged.

GRRM, has a problem with sociopaths? His books would suggest that they are the highest order of "good". Better watch out VD, seems like the basis for a cult following. We know they are confirmed Kool-Aid drinkers....just add a personality.
